I can feel your pain. (We’re enough west that we have No Snow Going Sideways. In fact, no snow at all. But the wind is ferocious. Hope it calms DOWN Down down very soon.)

I’m British but I don’t feel strongly either way. I do think Ms Mantel has made a big mistake though, she should keep her thoughts to herself and use them to create characters instead.

I think I ought to buy a plane ticket to Florida. The good thing of the winter there would be that it would not last for long!

You make me think of something my mother used to say: “You (he,she) could have lived a hundred years without saying that.” Thanks for weighing in on the subject, Gilly.

I agree with you about how we treat our movie stars and I would throw athletes into the pot, as well. I would love to have royals. I think the institution of royals allows the government to be truly...

Very true! The pageantry of it all is so closely associated with England! And I do think Americans love it vicariously as well. (No rush on the TV set, season 4 isn’t due till next fall or later.)

I think perhaps she missed a good opportunity to shut up. I’m even more for the monarchy, now that I no longer live in Sweden. Many people are against it there, and they complain that their hard-earned...

In St. Johns you still have a monarch, non? Queen Elizabeth is still Queen in Canada (or else I’m asleep at the switch)? I’ve seen many pictures of Danish royalty, even seen the castle when I was...

Oh, Rebekah, I always get mixed up and say to myself, Now is it Saint John or St. John’s? And then I always choose the wrong one!!!!! Mea culpa. And even though I know perfectly well you have dark...
